While breakfast may be considered the most important meal to start a day, attending “Breakfast with the Legislators,” sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge (LWVOR), may be the best way to start getting to know key legislative decision-makers and to ask questions on issues moving forward in state government.

While breakfast may be considered the most important meal to start a day, attending “Breakfast with the Legislators,” sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge (LWVOR), may be the best way to start getting to know key legislative decision-makers and to ask questions on issues moving forward in state government.

The January “Breakfast with the Legislators” will be held 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Monday in the Social Room of the Oak Ridge Civic Center, 140l Oak Ridge Turnpike. A free continental breakfast will be served.

State Sens. Ken Yager, R-Harriman, and Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, as well as state Reps. John Ragan, R-Oak Ridge, and Kent Calfee, R-Kingston, have been invited to speak about the legislative outlook for this session of the Tennessee General

Assembly and to respond to audience questions.

Monday marks the beginning of the 26th year that LWVOR has held “Breakfast with the Legislators.” Convened on the last Monday of every month while the state Assembly is in session, the popular community event offers first-hand information on upcoming legislation and House and Senate committee activities.

It also prompts dialogue among legislators and citizens and provides a networking opportunity for members of the community.

If the Oak Ridge schools are closed due to inclement weather, “Breakfast with the Legislators” will be canceled, a release stated.
